One hundred and three: Awakening
"Your Majesty is angry!"
With the Demon Emperor's move, the courtiers below didn't dare to continue to wait and see. It's not that they are afraid that the Demon Emperor will anger themselves, they have followed him for so long, and they also know that this emperor will not be so superficial. It's just that as courtiers, they instinctively don't want to see the division of the royal family, and besides, both the crown prince and the prince are quite powerful people, and whoever has a problem will be a loss to the Northern Regions.
"Father, has it been too long since you led the Northern Regions to conquer the Quartet!" did not avoid the Demon Emperor's gaze, and the King of the Earth still did not give in the slightest, "I will leave today, and when the retainer finds out what is hidden in the human world, if the retainer is wrong, he will definitely return to this high wall to be punished!"
In the dark, a red halo of light floated quietly above the palace, and the king of the earth, who quietly looked at the figure below and left the palace after speaking, couldn't help asking, "Is this why you came to the human world?"
As soon as the words fell, the figure of the king of the earth appeared beside this halo. Looking at this picture that had been hidden in the depths of his memory for ten years with complicated eyes, he sighed slowly: "Yes, that's why I left the Northern Regions and came to the human world in the first place. Humanity is obviously very weak, but it can survive in the gap between the two races for eternity, and I always feel that through the study of the unknown group of humans, the Northern Regions can achieve new development. I didn't expect that soon after I came to the Human Realm, I encountered the Shield of Justice and their machine spirits, and the most surprising thing to me was my imperial brother who was standing with them at that time. ”
"Are you surprised?"
"No...... I might have been more surprised if he hadn't come. Shaking his head with a wry smile, the King of the Earth looked at the constantly changing picture from the depths of his memory below, on the one hand, he was nostalgic, and on the other hand, he was really helpless, "I don't know my father's plan, maybe in his eyes, I am always just a person who assists the emperor's brother." But that job is really not suitable for me, isn't it better to hand it over to the third brother, I often envy the royal brother for charging into battle, maybe wielding a sword is really something that belongs to me. ”
"But you're also fighting to protect someone, aren't you?"
Slightly stunned, he turned his head to look at the figure in the halo, and after a while, the King of the Earth chuckled and looked away again, saying, "Maybe, but I always feel that it seems to be more difficult to protect a person than to assist a person." Thanks, Longinus, for your hard work in carrying the burden of saving us both. ”
"Now that you remember who I am, you're almost coming back to consciousness. The figure in the halo spoke with a hint of tiredness, thinking that this kind of spiritual conversation was still too consuming for this newly acquired spiritual spirit, "Wake up quickly, if the master makes the human who has been waiting for you for a long time cry, I will not stand idly by." ”
"Who the hell did you learn these words from? With a smile, the King of the Earth looked up at the dim sky gradually becoming empty, knowing that his moment of comfort in this subconscious spiritual world was over, "When will I see what you really look like, although it is not moral, but in the end, I have restored you." ”
There was a trance in front of him, suddenly dark and bright, only to feel that a touch of green in the haze with the light opened his eyelids, and the king of the earth slowly opened his eyes in reality.
In addition to the buzzing in his ears, the roar of the pillar of fire echoed in the distance, and the blurred image in front of him gradually became clear, and the king of the earth realized that it was the girl's tearful face dangling in front of his eyes.
"Really...... Since you are alive, what are you crying about? Squirming his lips and saying without strength, the king of the earth wanted to raise his hand to caress that face, but unfortunately his arm couldn't use any strength, and the magic power around his body was also a mess, it seemed that although he was saved from death, he was still seriously injured.
"Why don't you cry...... If something happens to you, I, how can I get out here alone!"
Looking at her crying pear blossom with rain face, the king of the earth smiled lightly, and said in his heart that this guy really hasn't seen anything in the world, and telling lies and fakes can be seen at a glance.
"That's nice. ”
Seeing that the king of the earth had woken up, the girl was wiping her tears, and she was a little puzzled when she heard him say this: "What?"
"Outside the walls, there was finally someone who genuinely feared for my safety, and was not fighting with me for his own purposes. For some reason, looking at the lush green of the heights, the King of Earth remembered Starz, who had been stabbed to death by his own sword, "Starz, if you are the same, how can I calculate you? ”
Listening to these words that she didn't understand, the girl was a little stunned and didn't know what to say, but she was always a little worried, she had heard people talk nonsense when they were dying, although this guy woke up, but the injuries on his body could be seen by himself, could it really be a return to the light, right?
"You don't have to worry about me. Seeing the girl's expression, the King of Earth knew what she was thinking. Although I want to be more relaxed, the injuries on my body really make me feel weak, "The biggest point of our demon clan is that the skin is rough and thick, and it has been beaten. You stay by my side and don't walk around, and when my magic is working, these hard injuries will heal quickly. By the way, how long have I been unconscious?"
"It's eleven minutes. ”
Exhaling lightly, the King of the Earth couldn't help but sigh: "What is that Dongying's Yin and Yang Juku, that technique has been sprayed for ten minutes and its momentum has not decreased, fortunately, it has been thrown farther away, it seems that this forest will be swallowed by flames in the near future." Help me up and face the pillar of fire, my vision is too narrow in my current position. ”
The forest was vast and humid, but it couldn't withstand the volcano-like eruption. Fortunately, he was blown far away, otherwise he would have been burned to ashes in the ten minutes of coma. However, this safety is only temporary, although the king of the forest fire land has never seen it, but when Hongchuan was the principal, he has seen a lot of reports, and he doesn't dare to relax now.
Enduring the pain and baring his teeth and being helped to sit up, the King of the Earth couldn't help but tremble as he looked at the pillar of fire in the distance, I'm afraid that even the imperial brother can't get out of this power.
Desperately trying to repair his broken bones and torn tendon muscles, the Earth King's forehead oozed beads of sweat. The girl next to her looked nervous and overwhelmed, and the king of the earth gritted his teeth and endured it for a while, feeling that it was better to find something to say: "Speaking of which, that guy Longinus is stingy, and he protects you as a human at all, and he barely spares my life, even if I barely spare my life, my master is really sad." ”
"Longinus?"
"Yes. It's the spirit in my spear, but I can't condense my body yet, it's a red light at best. While explaining, the King of the Earth suddenly smiled and said, "This fire is not without benefits, after all, as soon as the fire burns, the beasts are gone. ”
"That...... If you want to speak of red light, there was always a red light around you until you woke up, and many beasts that wanted to attack us were driven away by that light. ”
Nodding, the King of Earth thought to himself that he had missed Longinus, and it was tiring for the unformed machine spirit to unfold the enchantment: "I see...... Wait, you said there were a lot of beasts that wanted to attack us before?"
The girl nodded, looked around and leaned over to the King of the Earth: "I think...... The beasts here are not afraid of fire......"
